hey guys so today we are up cycling old t-shirts and making it look new again as
you guys know I've been on a cleaning journey I'm doing some squats today
trying to get in some exercise this is episode three in my #cleaningseries last
week I share it with you guys my Jean collection this week I want to show you
some t-shirts I own I want to practice more sustainability so I'm going to
transform these old t-shirts into something new doing a cloud with my
friend latisha so be sure to check out her video right after this
I'll have it link for you guys down below I deeply apologize if you hear any
rain in the background there's a rain storm here in California for this DIY is
super important to try on the t-shirt to make sure that it fits you so grab a
piece of chalk and we're going to outline the area where we want the
neckline to go so I'm thinking a v-neck line I think they all look really good
with the cutout in the back
be sure to leave the neckline because you don't want to cut that off we're
going to leave it so it looks more like a choker neckline taking a piece of
chalk I'm just going to draw a line down the middle of the shirt might you what
this shirt is the fact that there's a logo here in the center which I don't
really like so I'm just going to cut right down the middle so here is the
final t-shirt as you can see I left the t-shirt elastic up top so it kind of
looks like a choker neckline and I love the v-neck line paired with the open
back
have this teacher here it says Miami of you join it so I thought they'd be
really fun to call my friend Leticia who I'm doing this video in collaboration
with to see you know what fun DIY ideas we could come up with with this t-shirt
Leticia is here with us and decide to phone a friend
hey Leticia how's it going good so I have this blue t-shirt and I'm not
really sure what I should do to it like I don't want to just throw it away
I want to upcycle it do you have any good ideas for me oh that's so smart so
I will link you guys that tutorial down below first I'm going to cut off the
sleeves of the t-shirt just to the left and the right and then I'm just going to
sew it shut now that I've cut off the sleeves I'm just going to cut a u-shape
down here
now that we have the bag shape all cut out now we're going to add the little
slits to give the bag a bit more volume I'm going to fold the shirt in half and
then one more time
and lastly I'm going to sew the edge of this bag together and then we're all
done so here is the Finnish grocery bag you can either put in your groceries or
your workout clothes I really love that this is just a t-shirt transformed into
a bag so thank you so much to Leticia for this great DIY idea since a lot of
you guys might be experiencing winter right now I thought be fun to do a
resort wear inspired tube top we're going to cut right across wrong line
here length I'm thinking about 24 centimeters and luckily since we already
have this striped shirt it just goes straight to this line so I'm just going
to remember it visually I'm going to cut across here as well as here now that we
have our tube top cut out now we're just going to take apart the other pieces and
now we're left with this rectangular piece of fat to resize this tube top I'm
going to bring in about one inch on each side now I'm going to add two buttons to
the center of the top please don't judge me please buns don't match but these
were the only ones I had around my house
definitely add some straps let's talk in case you find that it's looking down
just a bit if I think is perfect for the beach or for any hot weather occasion
I realized I'm left with this really tiny little micro crop top so I decided
to just put it on over my tube top and I feel like I could work I can potentially
sew it back together if I'm feeling like this is just a little bit risque it's no
secret I love Roman and I also love to cook today I'm going to transform this
t-shirt into a prett for this DIY you will need a t-shirt some thread and thus
black ribbon all you have to do is to sew the ribbon onto the top of the
sleeve of the t-shirt repeat on the other side moving on to the other side
we're going to sew the other ribbon onto the top of the sleeve so I love the
Japanese words and fYI I actually don't know this shirt size so if you do speak
Japanese it would be great if you could comment down below what these words say
we're going to be making a super cute pet costume since this wintertime here
in San Francisco I thought I'd be fun to make Bella another one of these waters
draw a line where I'm going to cut the arm holes get ready to cut out our
outline now fold the fabric in half and then we're going to cut about one inch
to create a slip for the arm holes Bella have you come join the party oh are you
gonna make this DIY now all you have to do is to sew all the pieces together it
has a honey she's now the color of the year it's a coral donkey suit you could
take off I feel like the front a little bit low but
so it's no secret Bella loves tennis balls as you can see she just loves
playing with them we're going to be upcycling the rest of this t-shirt using
the sleeve as a bulk cover this will be a great toy to play toss with your dog
for this DIY you're going to need a scrap of fabric something of the shape
like this
next take your scissors we're going to divide this into three okay and then
flip it over and repeat on the other side so your fabric should look
something like this kind of like a spider now place the ball
right in the center and we're going to take this rubber band and tie the ball
together with the fabric now we're going to braid the fabric together so these
three and these three
so it's hard to make a dog toy so I wrapped a tennis ball which is Bella
favorite favorite favorite a toy of all time first lay down your shirt I have
this really old sleep shirt with a stain on it so we're going to be upcycling
this and making it into a hair wrap lay down your template if you don't have a
template like this I'll link one for you down below but essentially it's like a
Halfmoon shape since I want the hem of the bottom of the shirt I'm going to lay
it down here and then since the shirt isn't quite as long I'm just going to
slightly fold it over take a piece of chalk I'm going to just outline this
area just so I know how much to cut
after you cut out your fabric you should be left with something that's kind of
like this shape it kind of looks like a Halfmoon shape and now all you have to
do is to sew together the edges right here and that's
tada and we are now all done sewing up the
edge now if I flip my hair wrap right side out I'm going to add on a little
piece of lace just as an elastic at the end right about here inside just take a
needle and thread and sew this together
